SoobieDoo Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Looks like a solid plan there...you can't go wrong with that recipe! I've got a receiver mounted bike rack never used, if interested PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondjumper Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 I need 10 posts before i can PM ! but i am interested. This should be a fun project. Good rig to take anywhere and do everything i like doing. I said I wasnt going to wheel one when I build it, but that went out the window first time i popped it into 4low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 i'm jealous. the same car around here goes for 900 bucks and full of rust because some hillbilly has a golden turd needing brakes and engine seals. good find, very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondjumper Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks! I am hoping to build it up pretty soon. Planning on starting the lift soon here. Or if time is an issue I might just buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondjumper Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Well Ive been working alot lately, but have worked on the subie every chance I can get. I with the help of 88subi4x4 and his dad made the rear bumper from a piece of chairlift steel in his backyard. I also put some peugeots on it. I started building the lift. Pics of the bumper: Had to put a couple of bikes on my rack too, I meant that is what I built the bumper for! Next on the list: Try and finish the 5 inch lift Drill the toyota wheels I cleaned up and find some 215 75 or 65 R15's Find a Weber and get the thing running right! Little quirks like the clock and the voltage gauge has a flaky connection or something Glasspack Exhaust Skidplate and more Im sure -Jeff Edited July 15, 2010 by diamondjumper pictures didnt show up!

diamondjumper Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 well, I got the lift done with the help of 88subie4x4's dad. also put my old toyota wheels to good use and found a set of 215/65/15s on craigs for $100 for practically new tires. Also am trying to still dial in the weber mileage wise, and fix a few odds and ends, still need to tinker with it but it runs and drives!

Subruise Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 a small note you probably already know about: you said the voltage was jumpy? sube alts have a built in voltage regulator, that could have gone bad. i just bought my wife an absolute jem of a 86 wag but had a similar issue(tach was jumping too). i put a spare alt on it tonight and it solved both problems. just a thought, nice sedan, i wanna lift both our soobs.

diamondjumper Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 for the flaky connection, i think it has to be in the dash, when the voltage gauge doesnt work, the gas gauge doesnt work either, so im thinking a ground or something...
